| Yes, that sounds like it could be ringworm. Don't scratch at them; they spread even faster when you do that. If it is ringworm, you'll need a prescription to get rid of it. |

Almost certainly a fungal infection. Could be ringworm or a few other kinds. It won't go away of its own accord so you need to get some anti-fungal ointment and if that doesn't work go to the clinic as suggested. |

| I get these all the time, unless you're a wrestler it's prob not ring worm. It's more then likely eczema |

| Probably ringworm, which is the same thing as athlete's foot and jock itch but different location. Canestan powder will take it away really fast. Go to the pharmacy and get some. It comes in a pink bottle. |

| If you're in Seoul, don't go to a skin clinic. Korean doctors are questionable. Go to Yonsei. |

Buy some cortizone cream. Over-the-counter in any pharmacy, probably 2,500 won a tube. Guaranteed it will clear that up (unless you have something really weird).
Take this advice. I used to get that my first year in Korea (probably from boozing and lack of sleep and whatnot), and so did some other folks I know. Cortizone is your friend right now. |
